Podomonas is a genus of apusomonads, a group of small zooflagellates that glide on their posterior cilium. The genus was identified in 2010 as an independent lineage from Apusomonas and Amastigomonas, and consequently were described as their own separate taxon, containing many species previously assigned to Amastigomonas.[1]
